Paid Drupal services

Hello,

I would like to hire a developer immediately for a custom theme design of the garland theme on "Just-for-Giggles.com" of site. The client would like to have a customized look instead of the beautifully designed theme. :-)

I've been using a CMS called Coranto for several years on my website devoted to role-playing games (www.gamebanshee.com), but it isn't supported much anymore and there are several features that I'm looking for that I'm confident Drupal can provide. Therefore, I'd like to get a few quotes for what it might cost to install Drupal (6?) and convert my main homepage, all previously posted news items, and all articles (interviews, reviews, etc.) to Drupal while retaining the same look, feel, and functionality. If possible, I want to keep my vBulletin forum and my game-specific subsites (such as www.gamebanshee.com/baldursgate/) with all of their static PHP pages as is.

Currently, I have about 20,000 news items that are stored both in Coranto's plain text database file and in a vBulletin forum that I use for user comments. I also have approximately 100 interviews, reviews, and other articles that are stored in static PHP files. Each news item is linked to vBulletin for commenting purposes at the moment, but after the migration I'd like to utilize Drupal's comment system with users able to use their vBulletin ID for posting.

We have a very small project that requires some custom programming. We wish to call a specific address /drupal/do_this which will trigger a preprogrammed sql select that will return one node. The status for the node that is returned is to be set to unpublished and the author of the node is to be set to uid = 2.

If you can accomplish this simple task, please reply via my personal contact form with your contact info. and expected cost of services.

Thanks - jarea

Just a suggestion, but I'd like to see this forum topic split into Services Wanted and Services Offered. I'm a service provider, and I've found this topic to be bogged down with services offered. Not that that's a bad thing. But those posts tend to get bumped over and over again and the people looking for help get pushed down quickly.

Thoughts?

We are a start-up multimedia publishing and creative services firm located in San Francisco's financial district. Specializing in the distribution of media through new and innovative platforms, most of which are web-based, we have an ongoing need for experienced web designers and programmers. In addition to media publishing, we are doing creative work for a number of start-up companies throughout the United States. Website creation is a vital part of the brand identity creation and we would like to hire programmers who can work with our designers to create standards-based, cross-browser compatible websites.

Specifically, we are looking to hire a part-time employee who has a strong knowledge of Drupal (or a similar content management system) and can integrate PHP, JavaScript, ActionScript and other languages into a CMS framework. Some of the specific tools we would like to integrate into our sites include a client log-in system that allows access to custom content, back-end file exchange and calendar programs, and an easily-accessible team message board. We already have a team of graphics designers on-site, so we are looking for someone who is more of a back-end coder than a web designer.

I'm (probably) going to be using Drupal for a CMS that hosts many, many sites with one install. I will need quite a bit of customization to get the basic install to match what's required in my project specs...but I think drupal is the fastest/easiest/most stable way to achieve what I need. I'd like to talk to drupal developers, explain what I need, send my specs and see if this is feasible with Drupal. I also need someone who is able to work reliably and quickly and can complete this project by the beginning of March. If you're interested in learning more, please get in touch.
